Editing Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford (section)

===Literature===
In [[Phillip Pullman]]'s ''[[The Secret Commonwealth]]'', the character [[Lyra Belacqua]] attends an Oxford college, St Sophia's, which bears many similarities to Lady Margaret Hall: from its location on the map seen in "[[Lyra's Oxford]]" to being one of the first colleges to offer women an education.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lyra's Oxford: His Dark Materials |url=https://www.thebooktrail.com/book-trails/lyras-oxford-his-dark-materials-philip-pullman/ |access-date=2024-10-27 |website=The Book Trail |language=en}}</ref>

A thinly disguised version of the college appeared as "Lady Matilda's College" in an episode of ''[[Lewis (TV series)|Lewis]];'' portions of the episode were filmed within the hall.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elman |first=Leslie Gilbert |date=2011-09-07 |title=Inspector Lewis: Old, Unhappy, Far Off Things |url=https://www.criminalelement.com/inspector-lewis-old-unhappy-far-off-things/ |access-date=2024-10-27 |website=Criminal Element |language=en-US}}</ref>

The grounds, along with those of [[Trinity College, Oxford]], were the basis for Fleet College in the American author [[Charles Finch]]'s novel set in Oxford University, ''[[The Last Enchantments]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thelastenchantments.tumblr.com/post/70920173517/this-is-lady-margaret-hall-oxfords-first-college|title=The Last Enchantments|publisher=Tumblr|access-date=23 June 2014}}</ref>

The fictional St Scholastika's College in [[Val McDermid]]'s 2010 novel ''Trick of the Dark'' is a formerly all-female college located in North Oxford, adjacent to the [[University Parks]], with grounds backing onto the river, and buildings of red and yellow brick; it thus appears to be inspired as much by Lady Margaret Hall as by McDermid's own [[alma mater]], [[St. Hilda's College, Oxford]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Penn |first=J.
